This is the best hotel I have stayed in, in Chicago, to date.
Small but well planned out modern rooms. Super friendly, personable staff. Pet friendly!!
Good location in the shadow of trump tower.
Good breakfast at the restaurant on site, I was however puzzled that even on the outside seating that they only allowed therapy/assistant dogs!!?
Overall, too short of a stay, I need more!!More

We travel a lot and we are extremely spoiled by our mattress at home so we wind up disappointed when we travel due to the fact that the beds are never comfortable and especially since we pay over $200-$300 a night for a hotel rooms. We decided to try Virgin while we were in Chicago and we are glad we did. It was a beautiful hotel, excellent customer service, and comfortable rooms. I love the modern design and the ability to download an app which allowed me to control my room's air conditioning while out and about the town so the room was the perfect temperature when we got back. We can't wait for Virgin to open more hotels around the United States. We are definite fans!
Cynthia,
We're so glad you tried us out, too! In the next couple years we'll be opening a lot more, and can't wait to have you try all our locations.
Thanks for a great review!

We have stayed in many hotels, of different grades and in different cities. In most cases it's easy to find fault and 90% of the time it starts with customer service. This is the first hotel we have stayed in where customers really are the reason for being. Simply super service and staff follow up on their motto of "yes". As a bonus the hotel is modern, no mucking around with WiFi codes and sneaky email lists, little things in the rooms - Bluetooth desk speaker, coded safe, aircon. It's close to Metra station and North Michelin Ave. Brilliant. Well done Richard.
Hi Chay,
The "YES" button is a pretty great thing, isn't it? We were inspired by Dr. Yes himself - Richard Branson.
Thank you for a wonderful review. We hope to see you again soon!

I just checked out today. 5 days! Fantastic. I love the airline, and Mr branson is an inspiration, or should be, to everyone. And, like everything he does, the hotel has the careful considerations, customer friendliness, and hip vibe that you get in flatbed service. Clean, brightly colored, comfortable. Massage available, free drinks well toweled\stocked rooms and a cool rooftop bar make if fun. Worth Trying.
Hey Jim,
Five days of fun! Thank you for a lovely review. Hope to see you again - now you're a part of the family.

Had the pleasure of staying here twice and I have to say the more you stay the more the experience gets better. I had the good fortune to meet some fabulous members of staff who made the week long business trip fly by. All the staff are very friendly but my hats come off to Anna and Rusty who made me feel very welcome and who made the hours at the bar disappear. Social hour is a must and then I suggest you stay afterwards to get to know the fabulous people serving you. I can't wait until my business trip brings me back to Chicago as I will definitely be staying here again!
Hi there!
So happy to hear your second time was one for the books - but you know what they say, third time is the charm, right? Hope to see you again soon for the best stay yet.
Thanks for a great review!

We stayed here for 3 nights and after reading all the reviews before we arrived it had a lot to live up too.
I can honestly say it lived up to all the hype from the previous reviews.
We arrived at check in 3 hours early and were given a room straight away. Massive plus!
Room was on 17th floor so again perfect as heard nothing from the L, nothing from roof top bar or from the lift. So perfect again!
Location was also perfect, just minutes from everything you need so it couldn't be more convenient.
Also very easy getting the train from the airport, 5 dollars and 45 minutes. Once again perfect.
Next up the happy hour 7-8, I thought It would be so packed with slow service you may only get one drink in the hour but I was so wrong. Any drink you like and I think the most we could manage was 6 rounds in the hour....if I could of drunk more I had time to drink even more than that.
But the most amazing part of the hotel is the roof top bar. Amazing views, sunny evening, great house music and Dj's. Crowd was also very cool and very friendly. This alone deserves the 5 star rating.
But there was one other thing, my hair straightners I brought from the uk didn't work, after a quick call to reception they brought a us pair to the room within 5 minutes......and this was at 630am. Unbelievable service!!!!!!!!!!
This hotel is 5 stars all the way, can't wait to return to Chicago....and also to the roof top bar
Matthew,
The amount of times you called us perfect is making us blush! We're thrilled to know you had such a lovely stay. We can't wait until you return to Chicago either!
Cheers (from the rooftop!)
